Ten Creepy Monsters

32 pp. | Abrams | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0433-8 $14.95
(4) K-3 This atmospheric, slightly frightening counting book begins with ten creepy creatures (not textually identified) out for a thrill. But one by one, they get left behind after various mishaps that are uneven in scariness (a zombie "lost his foot," while a swamp creature "found his love"). Illustrations in a dark palette contain hoards of spooky details and compensate for occasionally awkward rhymes.
